We want to combine Visual Basic with Python.Heres how I've done that. I run a Python program either from a command prompt (or IDE) for interactive debugging purposes, or as a background process under scheduled tasks.
GUI will be in VIsual basic.
Computation Engine will be in python.
Which architecture do you recommend:
1. COM - who will be client and who server, and why?
2. Python API - access the python from VB using the python API.
3. Is there another way? DLL? Python Embedding
Things to consider:
- The computation engine will need to work with big amounts of memory, and we don't want to load them each time we access python.
- Debugging is important.
The program watches for tasks from the GUI using sockets or some more sophisticated layer on top of sockets, XMLRPC being one example, or periodically queries a database or file to see if there is something to do.
